Ontario parents fed up with ‘busty’ biological male teacher parading kink in class, threaten legal action: A group of frustrated parents have obtained legal representation and are threatening to take action against the school district for failing to address the issue of a male teacher showing up to class wearing enormous prosthetic breasts.

According to the National Post, a letter was sent to school and district officials on Dec 19 demanding that the Halton District School Board (HDSB) implement a “policy concerning teacher attire.”

The letter outlines how the region became an international laughing stock in September when photographs and video began circulating on social media of a male teacher, identified as Kayla Lemieux, in the classroom “wearing unnaturally sized prosthetic breasts, a sheer blouse or shirt that displayed erect nipples and skin-tight shorts.”

“My clients reserve their rights to pursue all forms of legal action concerning this matter, including judicial review,” wrote solicitor Rishi Bandhu, who is representing three parents who have children at Oakville Trafalgar. The parents are members of the group Students First Ontario which formed in response to the board’s lack of appropriate action.

For four months, the school and board have defended Lemieux’s right to wear the fetish props in the classroom, claiming that the implementation of a formal staff dress code would expose the HDSB to “considerable liability.”

In September, the school board stood by Lemieux and reminded parents in an email that “gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code.” The concerns of parents were dismissed and those protesting were called transphobic.
